Regulatory Matters; Approvals .
(a) Licensee
shall use Commercially Reasonable and Diligent Efforts, subject to
this Agreement, to obtain at its sole expense all Approvals that
are necessary for the sale of the Licensed Product within the
Territory for the Initial Indication only, including without
limitation any additional clinical trials, studies or data in
addition to the Cellegy Information that may be required in order
to obtain or maintain Approvals for the Licensed Product in each
country in the Territory for the Initial Indication, and comply
with any and all applicable statutory, administrative or regulatory
requirements of the Territory or any governmental or political
subdivisions thereof (collectively, " Laws ") in

promotion, marketing, distribution or sale of the Licensed Product
in the Territory under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, Licensed Product documentation such as Licensed Product
tracking, samples, Licensed Product complaints, adverse event
reporting requirements, post-marketing surveillance activities, and
documentation of recalls, which documentation shall be maintained
by the Licensee for the period required by the Relevant Regulatory
Authorities in the Territory notwithstanding termination or

complete or acceptable for the initiation of an M.R.P. application
in such country, then the parties shall meet and attempt to agree

would not be in the parties’ best interests to pursue

regulatory filings relating to Approvals, then the time periods set
forth above for making filings and obtaining Approvals shall be
extended by the additional period of time required to submit or
revise such filings. Licensee shall have no liability nor shall it
be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement in the event that
Approvals are not obtained in any or all other Major European
Countries or in any other country in the Territory.
